How Long Was It From When You Lost Your Mucus Plug Til Labour Started?

[WestCountryLass]

Just curious as I lost mine on Wednesday and this has not happened to me before (DSs labour started with contractions and DDs when my waters broke).

I am sure this is a how long is a peice of string question, but humour me

lol - would hate not to humour a pregnant woman

1st one - was about a day or so
2nd time - don't remember losing it, think it may have come out with waters (and birth soon after)

lol wcl! Never lost it with dd1 and dd2 (not that I noticed anyway). Lost it about an hour before labour started properly with ds (but had been contracting on and off for a week by then).

one week..but you could go any time !

Thank the lord!!!!!

think nice birthy dilating thoughts !

i had a clear show about 3 weeks ago now baby still no here yet !

are you sure it was a show, lins?

I am assumming mine was as it was blood streaked and I have had more since

yes, that does sound like it WCL......

just with Lins saying a clear show, when you get to the end of pregnancy , you get increased discharge, which you can mistake for a show...

12 hours from show until waters broke.

WCL - I read your post as 'I am assuming it was mine' LOL!

Oops - meant to say had show in morning and went into labour that night - had him next afternoon

4 days - but I went in as I wsa so fed up with waiting, and they gave me a sweep, and DS2 came 10 hours later. Never saw it with DS1. Good luck

octo, if youu insist on acting loopy please do it within the confines of april

Its that large glass of wine you gave me EllieK - were you trying to get me drunk?

was like a thick clear jelly type thing im sure it was a show but it could have been discharge never had a show with dd,

Octo, LOL, you nutter!

Lins, i'm no expert having only got mine to go on, but I did Google and usually a show is blood tinged, either pink through to brownish mucousy discharge (hope you are not eating as TMI).

big lump of mucousy discarge sounds about right !! LOL !

midwife said it sounded like a show thats why i thought it was!!

iim sure it was then !! it is a good sign, as you know, things are definitely moving, cervix thinning and dilating...hope will be reading your birth announcement soon !

hopefully things will get going soon my dd is tuesday and am very fed up lol

40 minutes

DD had a tiny loss about 6.30pm and went into labour in the night lost the rest in the morning few hours before she was born. DS lost it around the time I felt my first contractions.
